#35 John Kennedy

                                   1961--1963

--John F. Kennedy was the second-youngest president (after Theodore Roosevelt), the first 20th Century-born president, and the youngest elected to the office, at the age of 43. He was also the first Irish-American president and first Roman Catholic president.

--Notable events during his brief presidency included the Bay of Pigs invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall, the Space Race, and the African-American Civil Rights Movement.

--Kennedy was assassinated on November 22nd, 1963 in Dallas, Texas while riding in a presidential motorcade with his wife Jackie, Texas Governor John Connally, and Connally's wife Nellie. Officially it was concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing the president, however there are still many who believe there was more than one person involved in an overall conspiracy to assassinate him (theories range from the culprits being the KGB, the Mafia, Fidel Castro, or even the CIA).

 

--John F. Kennedy's heat vision was a closely guarded family secret, and in fact there are only two times he was known to have revealed this power...once as a child, and the other time as a prank while a member of the Harvard varsity swim team. No other member of the Kennedy family has displayed this rare mutation, although for one evening Ted Kennedy was convinced he had the power of super-ventriloquism.
